Ascend to super human level Athens, Hotel Grande Bretagne (Greece)

Public Programme Day 2 Athens, Greece, May 25, 1989 Shri Mataji: All right. Yesterday they spoke to you about the different centres we have within ourselves. These subtle centres were discovered thousands of years back by great saints. And Socrates also has talked about the gods which reside within us. And the knowledge about it was existent long time back. But there were two types of seeking going on alongside – two types of seeking. One was the devotion on the left hand side, and on the right hand side was the, we can say the intellectual. And devotion came to people because they felt there is something beyond this human life which thought of the creator – being there. And that we call as bhakti – is the devotion. But in the West it came as devotion to incarnations like Christ. That was… Aside: Is there a problem? Yogi: People want to come in and they don’t let them in, Shri Mataji.
